Patricia MacLachlan’s “Sarah, Plain and Tall” is a children’s book published in 1985 that explores the themes of loneliness, abandonment and coping with change. What do you remember about the book? Let’s take a look.

We could hear the soft_______of the leaves in the trees when the wind blew.
- Rustle
- Paddock
- Alarmed

Correct Answer

A. Rustle

Explanation

The correct answer is "rustle" because it is the most appropriate word to describe the soft sound made by leaves when the wind blows. "Paddock" refers to an enclosed field, "alarmed" means feeling fear or distress, and "windbreak" refers to a barrier that protects against the wind. None of these words accurately describe the sound of leaves in the wind.
